Recent medical studies have investigated the importance of enteral feeding and the use of feeding pumps for recovering patients unable to feed themselves or gain nourishment and nutrients by natural means. The most of enteral feeding system uses a peristaltic tube pump. A peristaltic pump is a form of positive displacement pump in which a flexible tube is progressively squeezed externally to al...

In machining industry, cutting fluids have an important role due to their lubrication, cooling and chip removal functions. Using of cutting fluids can improve machining process efficiency, tool life, surface quality and it can reduce cutting forces and vibrations. However, health and environmental problems are encountered with the use of cutting fluids. Therefore, there has been a high demand f...

In this paper an adaptive neural-fuzzy walking control of an autonomous biped robot is proposed. This control system uses a feed forward neural network based on nonlinear regression. The general regression neural network is used to construct the base of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy system. The membership functions used in the antecedent part of the fuzzy system are asymmetric and with varying shapes...

The need to reason with knowledge expressed in both Logic Programming (LP) and Description Logics (DLs) paradigms on the Semantic Web lead to several integrating formalisms, e.g., Description Logic programs (dl-programs) allow a logic program to retrieve results from and feed results to a DL knowledge base. Two functional extensions of dl-programs are HEX programs and fuzzy dl-programs. The for...

An adaptive sliding mode control method based on the fuzzy exponential convergence law is proposed to solve jitter problem caused by of servo-feed system and improve tracking performance system. The design rules for adjustment parameters in improves speed function, eliminates unknown disturbances system, weakens chattering simulated experimentally verified a parallel mobile platform. results sh...

The design and investigations of autonomous blimprobot delivery system is considered. Advanced sensors for a flight critical information of environment conditions and last-minute updates feed the onboardcomputerized guidance system to respond and control a set of actuators for maneuvering the blimp-robot. A fuzzy control to guide the system to the landing point is used. To demonstrate the dynam...
